Hi Bill, this is an example of a shuffle or swung blues rhythm, where you are creating a bouncy groove. I recommend checking out the following tutorial on how to feel this groove:

Anders takes you through the counting and how this feels extensively.

Also, check out the tutorial for La Grange for more on this kind of rhythm:

Taking it slow and making sure you're really feeling the difference between a straight groove and a shuffle groove will make all the difference. Let me know how it goes!

Keep rockin!
